Vancouver, Canada - Torq Resources Inc. (TSX-V: TORQ, OTCQX: TRBMF) ('Torq' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has defined a gold - copper mineralized system over an 800 metre (m) strike length at the Falla 13 discovery at its Margarita project located in northern Chile, approximately 65 kilometres (km) north of the city of Copiapo. Highlights from the recently completed reverse circulation (RC) drill program include: 64 m of 0.63 g/t gold (Au) and 0.63% copper (Cu) in 22MAR-017R, 130 m of 0.36 g/t Au and 0.28% Cu (including 30 m of 1.02 g/t Au and 0.57% Cu) in 22MAR-023R, and 62 m of 0.51 g/t Au and 0.38% Cu (including 16 m of 1.6 g/t Au and 0.98% Cu), in 22MAR-024R (Figure 1). Table 1 summarizes all exploration drill holes from the Falla 13 discovery area.
A Message from Shawn Wallace, CEO:
'The successful completion of the second drill program at Margarita marks an important milestone for the project and the Company. We have successfully added dimension and confirmed that the system we are exploring has the potential for continuity of size and grade. It is incredible that less than one year ago, Margarita was a prospect without a single drill hole. Now, as our team begins to plan the next phase of exploration at Margarita, we are also preparing for our inaugural drill program at our Santa Cecilia gold-copper project in the Maricunga belt, which we are also very excited about.'
A Message from Michael Henrichsen, Chief Geological Officer:
'With our second phase of drilling complete at the Margarita project we have been able to delineate a mineralized body over an 800 m strike length in a short amount of time. Collectively, the different styles of mineralization encountered, and the two orientations of mineralized structures, demonstrate a robust system with significant potential to both expand the mineralization along the Falla 13 corridor and find new bodies of mineralization at untested, geologically similar targets. Over the next several months we will refine our targets through additional soil sampling with an emphasis on gold, additional induced polarization (IP) lines in the northern region of the project and continued geologic mapping. We look forward to outlining our third phase drill program for the project.'
Michael Henrichsen P.Geo, Torq's Chief Geological Officer, is the qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 (Standards of Mineral Disclosure) who assumes responsibility for the technical contents of this press release.

Margarita Drilling
Analytical samples were taken using 1/8 of each 2m interval material (chips) and sent to ALS Lab in Copiapo, Chile for preparation and then to ALS Labs in Santiago, Chile and Lima, Peru for analysis. Preparation included crushing core sample to 70% < 2mm and pulverizing 250g of crushed material to better than 85% < 75 microns. All samples are assayed using 30g nominal weight fire assay with AAS finish (Au-AA23), multi-element four acid digest ICP-AES/ICP-MS method (ME-MS61), and copper sulphuric acid leach with AAS finish (Cu-AA05). Where MS61 results were greater or near 10,000 ppm Cu the assay were repeated with ore grade four acid digest method (Cu-OG62). Where Au-AA23 results were greater than 10 ppm Au the assay were repeated with 30 g nominal weight fire assay with gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22). QA/QC programs for 2022 RC drilling samples using internal standard samples, field and lab duplicates, standards and blanks indicate good accuracy and precision in a large majority of standards assayed.
True widths of mineralization are unknown based on current geometric understanding of the mineralized intervals.
Canadian mineral terminology and standards differ from those of other countries. The Company's public disclosure filings highlight some of these differences.
